Life begins with a single fertilized cell that gradually transforms into a multicellular organism. This process requires ...

Research shows how the curved shape of a zebrafish egg sets cell division timing, gene activation, and early cell fate ...

Zebrafish have long contributed to biological and medical research, especially as a model for developmental and toxicological studies. Particularly useful attributes of zebrafish include: ex vivo ...

Cell division is an essential process for all life on Earth, yet the exact mechanisms by which cells divide during early ...

Researchers have shown that zebrafish can provide genetic baz1b clues to the evolution of social behaviors in humans and domesticated species. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown ...

The zebrafish (Danio rerio) has become an increasingly popular model organism for the study of genetic mechanisms of vertebrate development and disease. Zebrafish are easy to maintain and breed in ...

As a vertebrate, the zebrafish possesses many genes that perform the same or similar functions in mammals and therefore also in humans. Approximately 70 percent of zebrafish genes are also present in ...
